russia does not have an older brother or a younger brother in these negotiations, russia should understand this immediately when negotiator trump arrives, although trump still has to understand this before that, but i hope that the ukrainian side is constantly communicating with keith kellogg's team, who, by the way, will come to ukraine after the new year, after the holidays, and will try to understand what the ukrainian position is, what we can... discuss in general the terms of the ceasefire, i am sure that there is no need to hold any negotiations with us at all, we can agree to a ceasefire and nothing more, that is, to talk to the putin regime about anything else, except for a ceasefire, there is no point at all, the putin regime will break everything, especially signing some kind of agreement with war criminals, there is no point at all, no reason to do this.

it is very important to ensure that the president and his team, ukraine is in the best position, on the day they decide, to be able to start negotiations, and therefore we must do everything now so that ukraine has the proper air force, the proper complex. from air

defense, i know that, what is west of ukraine, and therefore 19 high-precision air defense systems will soon be in kyiv, so we are all preparing now for ukraine to be ready for negotiations on the day when that time comes, and so i want to say that ukraine will not just ask us for weapons, ukraine will become so strong in the defense complex that we will buy in ukraine, and these will be investments in the economy of ukraine, so today we will talk about all this, so thank you volodymyr for coming here, thank you for being such a friend, thank you for your cooperation, thank you very much, mark, congratulations to everyone, thank you for the invitation, thank you

for organizing this meeting with leaders, and for us this is a very important opportunity to talk about security guarantees, in particular for today, for tomorrow, as you said about it, you have already said almost everything, but i want to say that it is very important for us to use these two days in brussels to meet with our partners, and so that we... we have such a common, not disjointed, but common position on security on the european continent, and also how to strengthen us, our people, our citizens, our civilian population, also how to strengthen our army, this is extremely important, you have already said about the priority of winterization, of preparing for winter, and also here we are talking about ensuring the appropriate number of air defense systems, all this is extremely important and... we have already met

with president macron, and later, tomorrow we will meet with other leaders, and also we are just... summing up these meetings with the eu leader, thank you very much, sorry, this was a short briefing by mark ruttei and volodymyr zelenskyy, which took place in brussels. friends, i remind you that we are working live on the espresso tv channel and our platforms on youtube and facebook, so join our social networks and support us with likes, as well as. subscriptions, then we are in touch with ivanna klympush tsintsadze, people's deputy of ukraine, head of the parliamentary committee on ukraine's integration into the european union. ms. ivanna, i congratulate you, thank you for being here today with us. good evening, thank you for the invitation. well

, there has just been a press conference, a cheering session between mark rutte and volodymyr zelensky. rutte reiterated that ukraine must first take a position of strength in order to think about... negotiations with russia, tomorrow in brussels there will be a meeting of the new composition of the european council, during which, as i understand it, president zelensky will also speak, in particular , it will be about strengthening ukraine in the defense and diplomatic plan and reaching an agreement on this with all the leaders europe, how do you assess the prospects for strengthening ukraine and, as mark krute says, gaining a position of strength to think about negotiations with russia? well, indeed, it is important for ukraine to change the situation on the battlefield, it is important to defend itself throughout the territory

that is currently controlled by kyiv and which is constantly and systematically attacked by the enemy, and therefore, of course, all of us, at all... levels, need to continue working to maximize support for ukraine, and not with promises, not with plans for, not with purely plans for the future, and now for the near future, especially since we know that the biden administration is trying to use all the funds that were allocated for ukraine in... in the vote this spring by congress, and we still don't have an answer as to how, in what way we will be able to ensure the continuation of this assistance from the united states, so the additional emphasis is now on our

partners, in particular from the european union, and on what we, you know, can count on, so i don't, well, i don't see any such... serious breakthroughs and changes in the behavior of our partners, and at the same time i see that there are efforts by individual leaders of individual countries, well, to consolidate the european part of the nato alliance as much as possible, in order to speak the same language and with the same approaches both in relation to ukraine, and in relation to european security, and in relation to the future of the euro-atlantic alliance itself, and nato. uh, with the united states of america and with the new administration, so today it's such a complex and constant work, which needs to be continued, but i can't say that this work today can bring any extraordinary, specific

and extraordinary results in the near future. it was announced, ms. ivanna, that tomorrow french president emmanuel macron will bring to the discussion of the summit of european union leaders the issue of deploying a peacekeeping mission on the territory of ukraine in the event of a ceasefire and the achievement of peace between ukraine and russia, radio liberty reports this, but macron himself will not be present at the meeting of the european council on thursday in brussels, since he is going to mayotte, a french overseas territory in the indian ocean, which is suffering the consequences of a devastating tropical cyclone, well, this is the topic, a peacekeeping mission, of course, not during a war, after a ceasefire, or in the event of a ceasefire, macron discussed it with donald tusk just last week, and it is clear that any support, including

declarations that european military personnel, or military personnel from european countries, will be in this peacekeeping mission, will obviously play into ukraine's hands, but is there such a possibility in international law when peacekeeping missions are not un or... other peacekeeping missions, which under some mandate of international organizations enter the territory of another state and try to restrain both sides or protect one side from the other? well, let's try to avoid going all the way to international law and dividing up different missions either for peacekeeping or for us. peace, that is , at the moment i might have focused on the fact that,

as for me, in my opinion, at the moment, this idea and this initiative, it is still in a very raw form, i really doubt that the european council will adopt any specific decision, that... until all member states are fully prepared to join such a mission, especially since it is generally unclear what its actual mandate should be, it is unclear under what conditions, in what quantity, for what purpose, and at what stage this mission could be located at all, and again where, is it on the territory of ukraine, or is it possible along the border of ukraine and the russian federation. internationally recognized border and so on and so forth, that is, there are

a lot of nuances here, and it seems to me that at the moment it is still , well, at the level of an idea, at the level of an initiative, but not at the level of any document or decision that can be adopted during a meeting of the council of the european council, the council of the european union, has covertly stated that he is not going to sit down at the negotiating table with zelensky, calling or questioning the legitimacy of the president of ukraine, zelensky does not publicly say that putin is also the leader of russia, whose legitimacy can also be questioned, given that the so-called elections in russia were attended or, in quotes , participated by residents of the occupied regions that were annexed by russia, that

were forcibly included in the constitution of the russian federation, but this thesis that there is no one in kyiv to negotiate with, and that we will fight our war to the victorious end, what does this mean, this thesis about illegitimacy, which he periodically repeats, what does this mean for ukraine and for the united states of america. well, it seems to me that this is nothing new, but this is not the first time that putin has spoken about this, and this thesis, well, in my opinion, is irrelevant, but given that we have an understanding, a full awareness among all our western partners that, unfortunately, in ukraine, during the martial law, it is impossible, neither legally, nor from a legal, nor organizational, nor security point of view, nor for the participation of all citizens of ukraine in the elections, to hold

elections that would be, at least somewhat resembling, democratic, transparent, and truly elections according to osce standards. therefore, today it is important for us that we have the support of the world that supports us, including in terms of the perceived, perceived legitimacy. of the authorities in ukraine, both the parliament and the president, and the fact that putin will always look for excuses why for one reason or another he does not want to negotiate with ukraine, will be with ukraine, will invent there, or put forward his ultimatums regarding the capitulation of ukraine, or will invent reasons why there with this or that as the head of state he will not have to deal with, then this is just one of the tactics. the russian federation finds such ephemeral excuses

in order not to actually withdraw its troops from ukraine and not to stop this aggressive, but terrorist war that they are waging on our territory. officially, ms. ivano, zelensky is not invited to the inauguration of the 47th president of the united states of america, donald trump, but trump himself says that he is ready to see zelensky at the inauguration, so... what does this diplomatic gesture of the 47th president mean? united states of america? well, you know, i don't really understand at the moment. the leaders who should have been invited there or who are planned to be invited, have received such invitations, so in fact, for today it is possible, this does not mean at all that president zelensky will not receive such an invitation, and perhaps it means that

, well, because they don't go to such events without an invitation, yes, so if president , well... president-elect trump is ready to meet with president zelensky, then i would like to count on ukraine , represented by its leader, receiving such an invitation. everyone in the world is waiting with bated breath for january 20, 2025, when the inauguration of the 47th president of the united states of america will take place, of course we in ukraine are also waiting, because there are... great hopes for trump, during his presidential campaign he talked a lot about how he would stop russia's war against ukraine, president zelensky said that trump knows about ukraine's unwillingness to surrender and freeze the war. let's listen to what said the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine.

i see in him the will to end this war, but he also knows... my will to end this war quickly at the expense of ukraine will not work, it will not work, ukraine has been fighting for its independence, for its sovereignty for a very long time, and we will not just give up our independence, no matter what, no matter how many votes there are, no matter how many mediators there are, no matter how many lobbyists there are even in europe, and putin, this is the danger when they say, okay, okay, let's now. let's just freeze everything, freeze the war, and then we'll negotiate with the russians, no, we 're not going to forgive putin for anything, do i understand correctly, ms. ivano, that zelensky doesn't want to act in two stages, that is, when the cessation of hostilities is taking place, freezing

the conflict or freezing the war, and then concluding some kind of agreement. but this is not the 25th, but the 26th or 27th year, well, it's difficult for me to say at all which way the supreme commander-in-chief of ukraine wants to act, but let's see if we can from the other side again let's analyze whether we can count on trump fulfilling those campaign promises, and regarding the end of the war within 24 hours. i think that from all the interviews of him and his team members in the last few weeks, it is clear that this campaign sloganeering story is somewhat calming down and calming down, and we already have confirmation that there is an understanding,

where further, i think that where further it will deepen this understanding, that obviously such things cannot happen, and that this... this war, which, by the way, is not a war, purely between ukraine and russia or russia and ukraine, it is not a war for territories, it is not a war for specific villages or specific cities, it is a war for influence, for conquest, for the destruction of the state, for the destruction by the russian federation of the state of ukraine, for the destruction of the people and for the redistribution of the world. and the redistribution of influence in the world in general, and therefore i think that there is a way, for example, to get to know trump's transition team more and more deeply, and then and already the people who will be appointed to positions by the newly elected president with all, let's say, and

there are documents with limited access and there are secret documents and so on, i think that there will be a deeper and deeper awareness of how this conflict is of great importance, its results will be of great importance for the security of the united states and in general for the situation globally, not only in europe and not only in ukraine, so i count on what we can do, including ukraine, if it now works with special. representative of trump kelogoma, we hear, that he will visit ukraine in early january, will be able to explain his understanding that as a result of... any negotiations there with the russian federation, this cannot be carried out, as the president of ukraine says, at the expense of ukraine's interests,

at the expense of our territories, our people, and at the expense of our future, the same applies to our membership in nato and our membership in the european union, and what arguments, what arguments can there be? tone towards moscow in order for them to move away from their ultimatum and your ultimatum rhetoric, regarding ukraine and regarding washington? well, i am convinced that a large number of tools are still available, starting from tools of pressure, additional sanctions pressure, mutual-mutual cooperation of the united states of america and... and the countries of the european union, by the way, from the point of view of even the same, confiscation of the same russian assets, and by the way, regarding further

pressure on the banking system, on metallurgy, on chemistry, on nuclear energy of the russian federation, i am convinced, that a huge number of such tools have not yet been used, by the way, from the positive news today it was just announced that... states, the biden administration has involved and applied even more stringent sanctions against all those who were involved, russians and russian companies that were involved in the promotion and construction of nord stream 2, and we see that this pressure is now being continued by the biden administration, and if the trump administration is interested in forcing russia to make peace, then a... how does it look to me again there will be elements of pressure rather than, well, elements of some kind of i don't know persuasion or

some kind of appeal through some dialogues, ms. ivano , over the last few days , a week, let's say , we see how viktor orban, the prime minister of hungary, is trying to supposedly fulfill a peacekeeping mission. he talks about a christmas truce, he addresses zelensky publicly, zelensky answers him, orban again comments on what zelensky said, and said that he will not respond to any provocations, on the table there is a proposal for a ceasefire, accept it or refuse it, it is your responsibility, how would you briefly characterize what orban is doing now and in whose interests is it? orban is trying... to further demonstrate his need, both, unfortunately, to the russian federation, and, by the way, to china, and at the same time he is trying to supposedly play along, supposedly, i emphasize, supposedly play along

with the election promises of the newly elected president of the united states of america, but it seems to me that this game of his, it is already so he himself was fascinated by the fact that , you know, when you sit down between two chairs, you fall between two chairs, and this is the... story when orban with all his initiatives will find himself in exactly such a situation. thank you, ms. ivanna, i will remind our viewers that it was ivanna klympushadze, a people's deputy of ukraine, former vice prime minister of ukraine for european integration, and currently the head of the parliamentary committee on ukraine's integration into the european union. friends, throughout our broadcast we conducted a survey, we asked you about this, will it happen. 2025 will be a step towards the end of the war in ukraine, let's look at the final results of our television poll, please show on the screen:
